\hspace

\hspace[*]{len}

The \hspace command adds horizontal space. The
length of the space len can be expressed in any terms
that LaTeX understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add
negative as well as positive space with an \hspace
command. Adding negative space is like backspacing.

LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a
line. If you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the
optional * argument. Then the space is never removed.
